Autocar Dump

[Warren D]

Built in 1978, this is very close to the first truck I had a ride in at the age of about 10.  Back in those days I was still learning (still am!) so my builds were mostly strictly stock out of the box.  She's held up well over the years and found her way out of the case for a cleaning before pics.

IIRC, this was an AMT kit.

Very nicely built Autocar. I remember building the same kit years ago, not sure what happened to it.

very nice !    I have the same kit painted the same colors built many years ago.

it is waiting for a freshening up and is on the to do list.

Man I LOVE Autocars... Sharp looking truck Warren.

[Warren D]

Thanks everyone.  Having been my first ride, Autocars have special place.  Then again, I like Petes, KW's, and any COE!

Good looking old Acar I also have a special place in my heart for Autocars who would think the truck I watched every day go through my town I would some day own it and restore it. Maybe soon AMT will re- lease this beautiful kit you did a great job on it and keep it as long as you can

Nice looking Autocar.  I never built this kit, but I do have it in the stash.

[Warren D]

Thanks.  Nice looking truck, Lee.  IIRC, there was a kit years ago of an Autocar tractor.  I may have had one back in the day.

   Great looking A-car dump . That is one of my all time favorite kits . You did a fine job of building it.And preserving it all these years.

Warren thanks I like the red oil pan and radiator guard that really sets that truck off and the stained side boards one of the best looking box stock I've seen

Very nice build and it's good to see that you saved it!

[DRIPTROIT 71]

Great looking Autocar!! I'm glad it's lasted and you were able to keep it. Great work!!

My first ride was in a 7400 White. I was probably 8 or 9, so they are kind of special to me too.

I have the dumper in my stash. Now I need to build it!

[Ken Gilkeson]

Very nice, Warren ! (I did mine almost in the same livery - box stock - in about 1984) , would also be a candidate for reissuing !

Great looking old iron, Lee - you really have something to be proud of - I'm sure that your truck gets a lot of admiration and attention at shows.

[Warren D]

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!  AMT did do a Autocar A64B, I found my old build.  Nowhere as good as the dump though and the old kits, if you find one, are insanely expensive.  I'd love to see re-issues of much of this, including the old MPC and IMC lines.

[V8 Trucker]

Well-built massive truck, you could may still risking another picture?

[Andrew Howard]

A beautiful truck,and a nice build,hope it gets re released soon.

[Mopar - D]

Warren your lucky to still have your original build and for it to still look very nice.
